My best guess as to what happened: our hosting service updated the version of PHP they are running on the server.

This can cause some flags to be thrown and some functions to cease working. I guess there were enough of these to cause a few cascading problems and keep some of us from logging in altogether.

We're now running the very latest release of phpBB (the software this board runs) so everything is working again. In the future I'll try to get the updates done in a more timely fashion - maybe twice a year. In the meantime I'll try to get our important mods installed again. I think the two most missed right now are the Quick Reply Box and the smiley pack. My job is no longer as boring as it used to be, so it might take me a few days.

Re: Board Updated!

I'd offer to help but then we'd all be locked out and the board language would be Chinese or something
